The Resume of Jesus Christ

In time for this Holy Week, we should renew our faith in Jesus and see what He has done to redeem us from our sins. However, do we really know Jesus? Yes, we see him in pictures and in statues, but do we really know Him, aside from the fact that He is the Son of God? I wish to share with you Jesus Christ’s Curriculum Vitae - the best one I have seen.

After reading this resume, I hope you share it to everyone. For sure, everyone needs an an opening for His “services”!  And God bless us all in our endeavors to service Him. Have a blessed Holy Week!

Because HE lives I can face tomorrow. Because HE lives all fear is gone…
Because I know HE holds the future and life is worth living… JUST BECAUSE HE LIVES!

Learning Empathy

Empathy

Yesterday morning, I attended a recollection hosted by our university. It was just a half-day activity, simple and yet brought out the spirituality in me. What struck me is the video shown about empathy. Empathy is often characterized as “putting oneself into another’s shoes”, or emotionally putting yourself in the place of another. According to R. R. Greenson, to empathize means to share, to experience the feelings of another person.

For us to emphatize, we need to be aware and sensitive of another person’s feelings. During the recollection’s video presentation, a father talked about his transformation to a good father and husband. He narrated that before he and his wife joined a marriage encounter, he was very short-tempered - to the point that he often hurt his wife and kids physically aside from the verbal abuse. He said his transformation is hard, however, with faith and by learning how to be sensitive of his family’s feelings, he was able to control his temper and everyday is still a learning process for him. But the most important thing, he said, is learning to forgive himself with all the hurt he caused his family.

On a personal note, I am touched with this man’s sharing, coz it reminded me of how I snap sometimes when the kids are getting so cheeky. Counting 1 to 100 doesn’t always work, so sometimes I can’t help but shout at them without listening to them first or asking what really happened. For this lenten season, specially since I will have more time to spend with my 3 beautiful kids, I hope I’d succeed on understanding them more and be sensitive on their feelings. I love them so much, no doubt about that, however, I can’t help sometimes not to get angry and raise my voice, specially when they quarrel.  That is one virtue I really have to learn.

Empathy should not just be given to our loved ones, but I think we should also be sensitive to other people around us. I hope after this lenten, I will be more empathizing not just to my kids and family, but also to others - neighbors, students, co-workers, and even to those whom I don’t know. And to have empathy, we should also have LOVE, FAITH & PATIENCE, lots of them! It’s a tall order and for sure a long process, but even small steps would go a long way.

Have a blessed Lenten Season - let us all strengthen our faith!

Dela Hoya - Mayweather II

Now that Manny Pacquiao once again proved his punching powers by defeating Juan Miguel Marquez (despite some controversies) in their March 15 rematch, there’s another boxing event that fans are surely waiting for! Floyd Mayweather and “the Golden Boy” Oscar De La Hoya will have a rematch slated on either September 13 or September 20.

Their last match dubbed as, “De La Hoya vs. Mayweather: The World Awaits”, is one of the highest grossing boxing matches. It generated a pay-per-view (PPV) revenue of over $120 million with 2.4 million households, and broke the Holyfield-Tyson record of 1.99 million. In addition, the fight - which was won by Mayweather via split decision - was sold out within three hours after it went on sale and earned over $19 million in live gate. This broke the previous of Holyfield-Lewis match in November 1999, which generated over $16,860,300.
